It’s a splendid work; tight, actionable and realistic. And, unlike most books on negotiation, it has simplicity without being simplistic and wisdom without preaching. But the best thing about Closing Time is its sales orientation. This isn’t a warmed over repeat of the Harvard Negotiation Project, or a treatise on games theory. It is practical sales advice on maintaining and improving margins – and it’s sorely needed in most sales forces.
